Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Causes of Infant Mortality: Being a Brief Account of the Origin of the Feebleness and Diseases Which Afflict and Destroy So Many Children Under Five Years of Age
I noticed in the Republican of the 8th inst. A Challenge to the Medical Faculty, by Chas. Mil ler, F. H. Gerhold and others. The principal pro position contained in this challenge is a de mand upon the medical faculty to explain the wherefore Of such an alarming death rate among children, and why the boasted science of the med ical. Profession does or can do nothing. Such a demand on the part Of the people is perfectly rational and legitimate, and should be responded to by the profession with that alacrity which has ever distinguished them as the philanthropic con servators Of the public weal. The importance of the subject can not be overestimated. It involves the dearest interests Of the race, and demands the attentive and earnest consideration Of all. The limits Of a newspaper article will permit nothing but the briefest possible consideration Of the sub ject; hence I shall enter at once upon the main topics without further preliminaries.
The statement is made in the above mentioned challenge that about forty per cent. Of all the deaths are children under five years. It would be foreign to my purpose either to substantiate or call in question the truth Of this statement. Be sides, such an inquiry would be barren Of practi cal results, because its approximation to the truth will be admitted by all intelligent Observers.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a light on the shockingly high infant mortality rate, which sees over forty percent of children under five years of age perish. The author delves into the underlying causes of this tragic statistic, arguing that only a small fraction of infant deaths can be attributed to natural or unavoidable causes. Instead, the author lays bare the preventable factors that contribute to this immense loss of young life, such as parental ignorance, mismanagement, and societal neglect. By examining historical and contemporary data, the author illuminates the profound impact of socioeconomic disparities, environmental conditions, and public health policies on infant well-being. A call to action, this book arms readers with the knowledge and tools needed to create a more just and equitable society where all children have an equal chance to thrive.
